It preceded it<br /><br />how could he get that wrong?<br /><br />Funny that you mention Scorpions though in relation to Turkey because in my mind it is Russia that I associate with scorpions and Scorpio<br /><br />Jura Lina&#39;s book; Under the Sign of the Scorpion<br />Read it more then a few years back, quite interesting!<br /><br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Under-Sign-Scorpion-Soviet-Empire/dp/9197289779<br /><br />&quot;This book provides stunning information about the secret role of the freemasons in international politics, about the bloody upheavals in France in 1789 and in Russia in 1917. The Author reveals the presence of dark Masonic forces behind the scenes (both Lenin and Trotsky were high-ranking freemasons, obeying the International Masonic Council). The Author pursues the history of the communist ideology from the Illuminati of the 18th century, to Moses Hess and his disciples Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels&quot;<br /><br />And much, much more..<br />A free copy of it can be found online...Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834513101685995010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458100886317255245.post-88655835600712179992016-08-29T23:23:24.570-07:002016-08-29T23:23:24.570-07:00Andrew Korybko is a great analyst but there is a h...Andrew Korybko is a great analyst but there is a hugely important actor missing from his take on this - the Americans, including grinning Joe Biden. <br /><br />No mention of their goals or their participation in these events. So I have to say Korybko&#39;s analysis is greatly flawed.<br /> <br />This is not to say that what Korybko portrays was not the plan, it probably was (as far as the Russians were concerned) but it demonstrably did not play out that way.<br /><br />For that, I suggest Finian Cunningham&#39;s piece, <a href="http://sputniknews.com/columnists/20160826/1044660930/erdogan-russia-us-jarablus.html" rel="nofollow"> &quot;Erdogan Plays US and Russia&quot;</a><br /><br />Scorpions must act according to their nature. My guess is that Erdogan conned the Russians and soon the Americans will spring their con on Erdogan.<br /><br />Lots more Syrians and lots more Turks are going to die because of these &quot;games&quot; of Erdogan and the US.

The presidents discussed the situation in Syria and agreed to continue personal communication conversation. The conversation was initiated by President Erdogan.<br /><br />&quot;The leaders had a detailed exchange of views on the state of affairs in Syria. They noted the importance of joint efforts in the fight against terrorism,&quot; a message from the Kremlin said. In addition, the presidents discussed &quot;issues of further development of Russian-Turkish cooperation in political, trade and economic spheres in light of the agreements reached at the meeting in St. Petersburg on August 9.&quot; Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834513101685995010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458100886317255245.post-44696546595706370632016-08-29T04:39:16.161-07:002016-08-29T04:39:16.161-07:00http://theduran.com/erdogan-calls-putin-russia-see...http://theduran.com/erdogan-calls-putin-russia-seethes-turkeys-syrian-incursion/<br /><br />Analysis of Turkish invasion of Syrian sovereign territory by the Duran site.
